I have always loved to eat spinach at Afghanistan restaurants. After several tries at making it, here are my results, which are easy and quite good served with fresh basmati rice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons oil
1 bunch green onion
1/2 bunch cilantro
20 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder

Steps:

  • Wash the green onions and cut off the very ends (both ends). roughly chop and put into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
  • Put the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When the heat is hot, add the green onion and stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop 1/2 bunch cilantro (fresh green coriander) and pulse it in the food processor until finely chopped.
  • Add the cilantro and spinach to the frying pan and stir for a minute until everything is well mixed.
  • Add all the spices and stir again.
  • Add the water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Check to see if the spinach is very tender, if not, recover and cook 5 more minutes.
  • Remove cover and continue to cook over medium heat until all of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Good seved with fresh basmati rice. I also like to eat this with lamb.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this dish. The flavors were very well-balanced and the spinach was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The spinach was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic next time.
